Church of the Holy Trinity, Svishtov

A work of the best-known Bulgarian architect of the period, Nikola Fichev, the church was inaugurated on 19 September 1867 and constructed on the highest spot in the town.

Fichev notably broke the Orthodox architectural canon by making the whole east façade a giant undulating apse.

The iconostasis, 16 m long and an average 10 m high, was created by Anton Peshev from Debar in 1870–1872 and the 73 icons were painted by Nikolai Pavlovich, a master from Svishtov.

The bell tower, stylistically a reference to Baroque architecture, was added in 1883–1886 and designed by Gencho Novakov.

The Church of the Holy Trinity suffered damage from an earthquake on 4 March 1977, but was subsequently restored.
